G D Em C
[Verse]
G
When the fire burns out here
D
It's brighter than the city lights
Em C
Warmer than a heart of gold
G D
And dingos howl just to break the silence
Em C
The sun comes up just to break the cold
G D
Last night I woke with the stars looking back at me
Em C
Swallowing the sky
G
I felt no anger
D
I felt no shame
Em C
I felt no reason to cry
[Chorus]
D G
If I'm not here in the morning
D G
I'll cry a river of tears
G D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C G D
But my heart is staying here
[Instrumental]
G D Em C x2
[Verse]
G
When it's quiet out here
D
A hundred miles away
Em C
You can hear the train on the line
G D
The whistle blows just to break the silence
Em C
I wave just to break the time
G D
I close my eyes, I think of runnin' water
Em C
I think of runnin' away
G
But the fire's burned to ashes
D
And it's darker than before
Em C
But I can see as clear as day
[Chorus]
D G
If I'm not here in the morning
D G
I'll cry a river, river of tears
G D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C G
But my heart is staying here
G D
I'll learn to live in a new town
C G
But my heart is staying here
